Current tap structure

Abstract

An improved current tap structure comprises an outer body with an inner body disposed therein. Two parallel grooves are provided in the inner body to receive and position two U-shaped contacts and two lead wires connected therewith. Two blades are provided at two sides of the grooves. The blades and the lead wires are exposed from a plug face and the bottom face of the outer body, respectively. Notches are provided between barriers at two sides of the grooves and an outlet plate of the inner body so that the U-shaped contacts and the lead wires connected therewith can slide into the grooves from the notches. Thereby, the effect of simplifying the assembly steps can be achieved, and the advantages of quick processing speed, low assembly cost and low price can also be accomplished.

I claim:  
     
       1. An improved current tap structure comprising: 
       an outer body; and  
       an inner body extending from an outlet plate, said inner body being disposed in said outer body, at least three barriers laterally spaced one from the other being provided in said inner body to form two grooves for receiving and positioning two U-shaped contacts and two lead wires connected therewith, two blades being provided at two sides of said grooves, said blades and said lead wires being exposed from said outer body, outer ones of said barriers each having an arcuate free end offset from said outlet plate by a notch space communicating with one said groove, said notch space being greater in width than each of said U-shaped contacts for receiving laterally therethrough said U-shaped contacts and said lead wires connected therewith.
